LOOK: Ben Simmons posts cryptic message recruiting LeBron James

Not every recruitment of a top-tier NBA free agent has to be a huge display. Sometimes, NBA players take a completely different route, and if you’ve ever read/seen anything about Philadelphia 76ers young star Ben Simmons, you know the full-blown recruitment efforts probably aren’t his thing.

Instead, Simmons went his own direction to recruit LeBron James, a player who the Sixers highly covet and who Simmons himself even considers a mentor.

The 2018 NBA Rookie of the Year took to Instagram just ahead of the start of NBA free agency and posted a photo of him and LeBron together with a simple message, per John Clark of NBC Sports Philadelphia.
